Yes, given the size of most multicincta and their respective intergrades it makes sense that their size carries over. Same holds true for other ssp, respectively. As I'd mentioned with San Diego pulchra, their prey base seems to be a higher percentage of lizards as compared to a lower-elevation/riparian z whereby the prey base is more varied (i.e. Many multicincta, multifasciata, and populations of parvirubra/pulchra fit into this category), therefore translating to c.b. offspring as well in captive conditions. Almost all CB multicinctas take me a fraction of the time to get on unscented pinks versus the higher elevation pulchra. In my overall opinion, natural environment (despite generations removed) strongly translates into what we see under captive conditions. Just my 2 cents....
